BACKGROUND 1. Field

An embodiment of the invention relates to a lighting device having a plurality of light sources or light emitting devices. An embodiment of the invention relates to a lighting device that provides a surface light source in the form of a line. An embodiment relates to a lighting device having a lighting module. The embodiment relates to a light unit having a lighting module, a liquid crystal display device, or a vehicle lamp.

2. Background

Lighting applications include vehicle lights as well as backlights for displays and signs. Light emitting device, such as light emitting diode (LED), have advantages such as low power consumption, semi-permanent life, fast response speed, safety, and environmental friendliness compared to conventional light sources such as fluorescent lamps and incandescent lamps. These light emitting diodes are applied to various display devices, various lighting devices such as indoor or outdoor lights. Recently, as a vehicle light source, a lamp employing a light emitting diode has been proposed. Compared with incandescent lamps, light emitting diodes are advantageous in that power consumption is small. However, since an exit angle of light emitted from the light emitting diode is small, when the light emitting diode is used as a vehicle lamp, there is a demand for increasing the light emitting area of the lamp using the light emitting diode. Since the light emitting diode is small, it may increase the design freedom of the lamp, and it is economical due to its semi-permanent life.

The first surface S1 may be transparent or a surface through which light is emitted. At least one of the first surfaces S1 may face the emission portions 111 and 113 of the light emitting device 105. For example, the first surface S1 may face the emission portions 111 and 113 of the first and second light emitting devices 101 and 103.

The first and second exit surfaces S11 and S12 may be an outer side disposed between the plurality of reflective layers 230 and 240 or an outer side disposed between the substrate 210 and the second reflective layer 240.

The first exit surfaces S11 may be disposed in plurality, and the plurality of first exit surfaces S11 may be spaced apart from each other. The second exit surface S12 may be disposed in plurality, and may be respectively disposed between the first exit surfaces S11. The first and second exit surfaces S11 and S12 may be alternately disposed. An exit surface disposed at the outermost side on the first surface S1 in the first direction Y may be the first exit surface S11. The outermost first exit surface S11 may extend from the fifth surface S5 or may extend from the sixth surface S6. A center of each of the plurality of first exit surfaces S11 may be disposed at a position corresponding to a center of each of the plurality of first light emitting devices 101.

Each of the plurality of first light emitting devices 101 may not overlap each of the plurality of second light emitting devices 103 in the first direction Y. The first exit surface S11 and the second exit surface S12 may not overlap in the first direction Y.

The resin layer 220 may cover or mold the first and second light emitting devices 101 and 103. The first and second light emitting devices 101 and 103 may include light emitting chips. The first and second light emitting devices 101 and 103 may include reflective sidewalls surrounding the outside of the light emitting chip.

The resin layer 220 may include a first convex portion P1 that has a first exit surface S11 and protrudes from the first surface S1. The first convex portion P1 may have a convex first exit surface S11 or a first convex surface disposed in the direction of the first surface S1. In the resin layer 220, a second exit surface S12 may be disposed in a region between the first convex portions P1 on the first surface S1.

The resin layer 220 or the lighting device 200 may include a recessed portion C1 recessed in the direction of the second surface S2 in a region between the first convex portions P1. The recessed portion C1 may overlap a region of the second exit surface S12 in the second direction X. The recessed portions C1 may be disposed between the first convex portions P1, respectively. The recessed portion C1 may be spaced apart from the fifth and sixth surfaces S5 and S6.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6 , the resin layer 220 may be disposed on the substrate 210. The first reflective layer 230 may be disposed between the resin layer 220 and the substrate 210. The resin layer 220 may be in contact with upper surfaces and side surfaces of the first and second light emitting devices 101 and 103. The resin layer 220 may be in contact with an upper surface of the first reflective layer 230. A portion of the resin layer 220 may be in contact with the substrate 210 through a hole in the first reflective layer 230. The resin layer 220 may be in contact with the emission portions 111 and 113 of the first and second light emitting devices 101 and 103. The first surface S1, the second surface S2, the fifth surface S5, and the sixth surface S6 of the resin layer 220 are outer surfaces between the first and second reflective layers 230 and 240. The first surface S1, the second surface S2, the fifth surface S5, and the sixth surface S6 may be peripheral sides of the light emitting device 105 or corresponding sides to the side surfaces of the light emitting device 105. The fourth surface S4 of the resin layer 220 may contact the second reflective layer 240, and the third surface S3 may contact the first reflective layer 230. The third surface S3 and the fourth surface S4 may be horizontal to each other. In the absence of the first reflective layer 230, the third surface S3 may be in contact with the substrate 210. When the lighting device is flat, the third and fourth surfaces S3 and S4 may include a flat surface.

Referring to FIGS. 3 to 6 , an area of the third surface S3 of the resin layer 220 may be the same as an area of the upper surface of the substrate 210. The area of the third surface S3 of the resin layer 220 may be the same as the area of the upper surface of the first reflective layer 230. The area of the third surface S3 of the resin layer 220 may be the same as the area of the upper surface of the second reflective layer 240. A length of the resin layer 220 in the second direction X may be the same as a length (e.g., X1) of the substrate 210. The maximum length of the resin layer 220 in the second direction X may be the same as the maximum length of the first reflective layer 230 or the second reflective layer 240. The maximum length (e.g., Y1) of the resin layer 220 in the first direction Y may be the same as a maximum length of the substrate 210. The maximum length (e.g., Y1) of the resin layer 220 in the first direction Y may be the same as a maximum length of the first reflective layer 230. The maximum length (e.g., Y1) of the resin layer 220 in the first direction Y may be the same as a maximum length of the second reflective layer 240. The minimum length (e.g., Y2) of the resin layer 220 in the first direction Y may be the same as a minimum length of the substrate 210. The minimum length (e.g., Y2) of the resin layer 220 in the first direction Y may be the same as a minimum length of the first reflective layer 230 or the second reflective layer 240. The maximum length Y1 in the first direction Y may be a length between the apex (or the outermost point) of the first convex portion P1 of the lighting device and the second surface S2, and the minimum length Y2 may be a length between a point of the second exit surface S12 of the lighting device and the second surface S2. The resin layer 220 may be disposed between the first and second reflective layers 230 and 240. The first and second reflective layers 230 and 240 may have the same area and may face each other on the third surface S3 and the fourth surface S4 of the resin layer 220. Accordingly, the resin layer 220 may diffuse the light emitted from the light emitting device 105 and the light reflected by the first and second reflective layers 230 and 240 to guide and emit the light in the direction of the first surface S1.

As shown in FIG. 4 , the resin layer 220 may be formed to have a thickness Zb greater than that of the light emitting device 105. A portion of the resin layer 220 may be disposed between the first and second light emitting devices 101 and 103 and the second reflective layer 240. Accordingly, the resin layer 220 may protect the upper portions of the first and second light emitting devices 101 and 103 and prevent moisture penetration. Since the substrate 210 is disposed on the lower portion of the light emitting device 105 and the resin layer 220 is disposed on the upper portion of the light emitting device 105, the light emitting device 105 may be protected. Accordingly, the interval between the fourth surface S4 of the resin layer 220 and the upper surface of the light emitting device 105 may be 0.6 mm or less, for example, in a range of 0.5 mm to 0.6 mm. An upper portion of the resin layer 220 may extend to an upper portion of the light emitting device 105 to protect the upper portion of the light emitting device 105.

The thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 may be an interval between the third surface S3 and the fourth surface S4 of the resin layer 220. The thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 may be a vertical distance between the first and second reflective layers 230 and 240. The thickness Zb may be equal to a distance between the first and second reflective layers 230 and 240. The thickness Zb may be smaller than a distance between the first surface S1 and the second surface S2. For example, the distance between the first surface S1 and the second surface S2 may include the maximum length Y1 or the minimum length Y2. The maximum length Y2 in the first direction Y may be a linear distance between the high point of the first convex portion P1 and the second surface S2. A distance or an interval between the fifth and sixth surfaces S5 and S6 of the resin layer 220 may be greater than a distance between the apex of the first convex portion P1 and the second surface S2. The minimum length Y2 in the first direction Y may be a linear distance between the second exit surface S12 and the second surface S2. The distance or interval between the first reflective layer 230 and the second reflective layer 240 may be smaller than the distance or interval between the first surface S1 and the second surface S2 of the resin layer 220. By arranging the distance between the first and second reflective layers 230 and 240 to be smaller than the length or minimum width in the first direction Y of the lighting device 200, a line-shaped surface light source may be provided, the luminous intensity may be improved and hot spots may be prevented. In addition, the lighting device may be provided with a flexible characteristic that may be convex or concave in the third direction Z. The thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 may be less than twice the thickness of the light emitting device 105, for example, more than 1 to 2 times or less than the thickness of the light emitting device 105. The thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 may be 2 mm or less, for example, in the range of 1.5 mm to 1.9 mm or in the range of 1.6 mm to 1.8 mm. The thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 may be 0.8 times or less of the thickness Z1 of the lighting device 200, for example, in a range of 0.4 times to 0.8 times the thickness Z1 of the lighting device 200. Since the resin layer 220 is disposed with a difference of 1.2 mm or less from the thickness Z1 of the lighting device 200, it is possible to prevent a decrease in light efficiency in the lighting device 200 and to strengthen the ductility characteristics. A thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 may be smaller than a length or a maximum length in the second direction X of the second light emitting device 103. The thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 may be smaller than the maximum length W1 of the first exit surface S11 in the second direction X. The thickness Zb of the resin layer 220 may be equal to or smaller than the maximum length of the second exit surface S12 in the second direction X. That is, by providing the thickness Zb of the slim resin layer 220, a line-shaped surface light source may be provided through the first surface S1 in one direction.

The resin layer 220 may include a resin material such as silicone, silicone molding compound (SMC), epoxy, or epoxy molding compound (EMC). The resin layer 220 may include a UV (ultraviolet) curable resin or a thermosetting resin material, for example, may selectively include PC, OPS, PMMA, PVC, and the like. For example, as a main material of the resin layer 420, a resin material containing urethane acrylate oligomer as a main material may be used. For example, the main material may be used a mixture of a synthetic oligomer, urethane acrylate oligomer, and a polyacrylic polymer type. Of course, it may further include a monomer in which a low-boiling-point dilution-type reactive monomer such as 1130A (isobornyl acrylate), HPA (Hydroxylpropyl acrylate, 2-HEA (2-hydroxyethyl acrylate), etc.) may be further included, and as an additive, a photoinitiator (for example, 1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl-ketone, Diphenyl) or an antioxidant or the like may be mixed.

A bead (not shown) may be included in the resin layer 220, and the bead may diffuse and reflect incident light, thereby increasing the amount of light. The resin layer 220 may include a phosphor. The phosphor may include at least one of a yellow phosphor, a green phosphor, a blue phosphor, and a red phosphor.

A region in the resin layer 220 in which the first convex portion P1 is formed may serve as a lens portion. The lens portion of the resin layer 220 is provided in a lens shape having a first convex surface, and may include a hemispherical shape, a semicircular shape, a semi-elliptical shape, or an aspherical shape when viewed from a top view. The lens may include a collimator lens. The lens portion may be further spaced apart from the first light emitting device 101 by an apex corresponding to the center of the light emitting device 105. The thickness of the lens portion in the third direction Z may be the thickness of the resin layer 220. Since the lens portion has flat upper and lower surfaces and a curved surface in a direction of the first surface S1, it is possible to diffuse light incident in a direction of the first surface S1. The lens portion may be disposed between the first and second flat reflective layers 230 and 240 on the upper and lower portions, and may refract light to the first surface S1 and emit the light. The lens portion may refract light incident to a region deviating from the optical axis with respect to the optical axis at an exit angle greater than an incidence angle. When the lighting device 200 has a curve due to its ductility, the resin layer 220 and the first and second reflective layers 230 and 240 may include curved regions instead of being flat. Each of the first exit surfaces S11 of the resin layer 220 may emit light emitted from each of the first light emitting devices 101. Each of the second exit surfaces S12 disposed between the first exit surfaces S11 of the resin layer 220 may emit light emitted from each of the second light emitting devices 103. That is, a dark portion may be existed in a region between the second exit surface S12 and the second light emitting device 103 and the first exit surface S11, and a difference between a luminous intensity of the light emitted through the first exit surface S11 and a luminous intensity of the light emitted through the second exit surface S12 may be reduced. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce or eliminate the occurrence of dark portions on the second exit surface S12.

The recess portion C1 disposed between the first convex portions P1 in the resin layer 220 may be provided as a recess recessed in the direction of the second surface S2. The recessed portion C1 of the resin layer 220 may be formed on the second exit surface S12 of the resin layer 220. Since the light emitted from the second light emitting device 103 is emitted from the region between the first convex portions P1 through the recess portion C1, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of dark portions in the recess portion C1. Here, when the first convex portion P1 and the recessed portion C1 are disposed on the resin layer 220, a shape of the one side direction of the substrate 210 and the first and second reflective layers 230 and 240 may be provided in a shape corresponding to the first convex portion P1 and the recessed portion C1. The number of the first convex portions P1 or the lens portions of the resin layer 220 may be the same as the number of the first light emitting devices 101. The number of the recesses C1 may be the same as the number of the second light emitting devices 103.

The first reflective layer 230 may reflect the light emitted from the light emitting device 105. The first reflective layer 230 may be formed on the upper surface of the substrate 210. The first reflective layer 230 may be formed as an upper layer of the substrate 210 or as a separate layer. The first reflective layer 230 may be adhered to the upper surface of the substrate 210 with an adhesive. The resin layer 220 may be adhered to the upper surface of the first reflective layer 230. The first reflective layer 230 has a plurality of holes 232 in a region corresponding to the lower surface of the light emitting device 105, and the light emitting device 105 may be connected to the substrate 210 through the holes 232. A portion of the resin layer 220 may be in contact with the substrate 210 through the hole 232. The hole 232 may be a region in which the light emitting device 105 is bonded to the substrate 210. The first reflective layer 230 may have a single-layer or multi-layer structure. The first reflective layer 230 may include a material that reflects light, for example, a metal or a non-metal material. When the first reflective layer 230 is a metal, it may include a metal layer such as stainless steel, aluminum (Al), or silver (Ag), and in the case of a non-metallic material, it may include a white resin material or a plastic material. The first reflective layer 230 may include a white resin material or a polyester (PET) material. The first reflection layer 230 may include at least one of a low reflection film, a high reflection film, a diffuse reflection film, and a regular reflection film. The first reflective layer 230 may be provided, for example, as a specular reflective film for reflecting incident light to the first surface S1.

As shown in FIG. 4 , the thickness Zc of the first reflective layer 230 may be smaller than the thickness Za of the substrate 210. The thickness Zc of the first reflective layer 230 may be 0.5 times or more and less than 1 times the thickness Za of the substrate 210 to reduce transmission loss of incident light. The thickness Zc of the first reflective layer 230 may be in the range of 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm, and when it is smaller than the above range, light transmission loss may occur, and when it is thicker than the above range, the thickness Zc of the lighting device 200 Z1 may increase. The second reflective layer 240 may be disposed on the entire region of the fourth surface S4 of the resin layer 220 to reduce light loss.

The second reflective layer 240 may be made of the same material as the first reflective layer 230. In order to reflect light and reduce transmission loss of light, the second reflective layer 240 may be made of a material having a higher light reflectance than that of the first reflective layer 230 or may have a thicker thickness. The second reflective layer 240 may have a thickness equal to or greater than the thickness Zc of the first reflective layer 230. For example, the first and second reflective layers 230 and 240 may be provided with the same material and the same thickness. The thickness Zd of the second reflective layer 240 may be equal to or smaller than the thickness Za of the substrate 210. The thickness Zd of the second reflective layer 240 is at least 0.5 times the thickness Za of the substrate 210, for example, in the range of 0.5 times to 1 time to reduce transmission loss of incident light. The thickness Zd of the second reflective layer 240 may be in the range of 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm, and when it is smaller than the above range, light transmission loss may occur, and when it is thicker than the above range, the thickness of the lighting device 200 Z1 may increase.

The second reflective layer 240 may be formed in a single-layer or multi-layer structure. The second reflective layer 240 may include a material that reflects light, for example, a metal or a non-metal material. When the second reflective layer 240 is a metal, it may include a metal layer such as stainless steel, aluminum (Al), or silver (Ag), and in the case of a non-metallic material, it may include a white resin material or a plastic material. The second reflective layer 240 may include a white resin material or a polyester (PET) material. The second reflection layer 240 may include at least one of a low reflection film, a high reflection film, a diffuse reflection film, and a regular reflection film. The second reflective layer 240 may be provided as a specular reflective film so that, for example, incident light travels in the direction of the first surface S1. The first and second reflective layers 230 and 240 may be made of the same material or different materials.

The laminated structure of the substrate 210, the first reflective layer 230, the resin layer 220, and the second reflective layer 240 may have a structure of the first convex portion P1 and the recessed portion C1 in one direction. The first convex portion P1 may have a flat upper surface and a flat lower surface, and may include a curved surface or a hemispherical shape in the first direction Y. The recess portion C1 may include a flat or convex curved surface in the direction of the second surface S2. At least one or both of the first and second exit surfaces S11 and S12 of the resin layer 220 may be treated as a haze surface, thereby diffusing light. The haze surface may be treated as a surface rougher than the inner surface of the resin layer 220 to diffuse the emitted light.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 22 , the luminance distribution of the light emitted through the second exit surface S12 of the resin layer 220 in the lighting device 200 may be irradiated to 70% or more, for example, 75% or more based on the luminance distribution of the light emitted through the first exit surface S11. Accordingly, the difference between the luminance distribution of the light emitted to the first exit surface S11 and the luminance distribution of the light emitted through the second exit surface S12 may be 30% or less, and thus the dark portion may not be recognized on the external image. The uniformity of the total light of such a lighting device may be improved to 80% or more.

Meanwhile, the plurality of first light emitting devices 101 may be arranged in a direction from the fifth surface S5 to the sixth surface S6 of the resin layer 220. The plurality of second light emitting devices 103 may be arranged in a direction from the fifth surface S5 to the sixth surface S6 of the resin layer 220. In a region between the first and second surfaces S1 and S2, the first and second light emitting devices 101 and 103 may be arranged in different rows. The first light emitting device 101 may be disposed closer to the first surface S1 than the second light emitting device 103. The second light emitting device 103 may be disposed closer to the second surface S2 than the first light emitting device 101.

The first surface S1 and the second surface S2 may have the same height or thickness in a vertical direction. As another example, the height or thickness of the first surface S1 and the second surface S2 may be different from each other, for example, the thickness of the first surface S1 may be greater than the thickness of the second surface S2. Each of the surfaces S1, S2, S5, and S6 of the lighting device 200 may be each side of the resin layer 220 having the thickest thickness in the lighting device 200.

The first or second light emitting devices 101 and 103 may be arranged on a straight line extending in the second direction X. The first or second light emitting devices 101 and 103 may be arranged on a virtual curve having a curvature or an inclined oblique line with respect to the second direction X.

The plurality of light emitting devices 105 (101, 103) may face the first surface S1. The emission portions 111 and 113 of the plurality of light emitting devices 105 (101, 103) may face the first surface S1. The light emitted from the light emitting device 105 is emitted through the first surface S1, and some light may be emitted through at least one of the second surface S2, the fifth surface S5, and the sixth surface S6. That is, most of the light emitted from the light emitting device 105 may be emitted through the first surface S1.

The first exit surface S11 may protrude more than a straight line connecting one end of the third and fourth surfaces S3 and S4. The convex shape of the first exit surface S11 may be a hemispherical shape, a shape having a curved surface, a semicircle, a semi-elliptical shape, or an aspherical shape. The first exit surface S11 may protrude from the first light emitting device 101 in the first direction Y or in a direction of the first surface S1, and a protruding shape is a first protrusion portion P1 and have a hemispherical, curved or non-spherical shape. The second exit surface S12 may be disposed between the first exit surfaces S11, respectively. Each of the second exit surfaces S12 may be connected between lower ends of the adjacent first exit surfaces S11. The second exit surface S12 may extend horizontally or flatly between lower ends of the adjacent first exit surfaces S11. A boundary portion between the first and second exit surfaces S11 and S12 may be an angled surface, a curved surface, or a rounded surface. A thickness in a vertical direction of the first exit surface S11 may be the same as a thickness in a vertical direction of the second exit surface S12.

Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8 , the first exit surface S11 may include first and second points Pa and Pb closest to the first light emitting device 101, and a third point Pc having a maximum distance from the first light emitting device 101, wherein the first and second points Pa and Pb may be both ends of the first exit surface S11, and the third point Pc may be a center point of the first exit surface S11. The maximum length W1 between the first and second points Pa and Pb may be the maximum length of the first exit surface S11 in the second direction X or the maximum length of the first convex portion P1. The first exit surface S11 may be provided as a convex curved surface from the first and second points Pa and Pb toward the third point Pc. The first and second points Pa and Pb may be disposed at symmetrical positions with respect to the third point Pc or may be spaced apart from each other by the same distance.

The second exit surface S12 may include both points disposed at both ends, and the both points may be a boundary point between the first and second points Pa and Pb or a portion recessed toward the second light emitting device 103. The length W2 in the second direction X of the second exit surface S12 is the maximum length, and may be smaller than the maximum length W1 of the first exit surface S11. The length W2 may be 0.5 times or less, for example, in a range of 0.1 times to 0.5 times the length W1. When the length W2 is greater than the above range, there may be a problem in that the light emitted through the first exit surface S11, which is the main light, is affected or the length W1 of the first exit surface S11 is reduced, when it is smaller than the above range, the amount of light may be reduced, and thus the improvement of the dark portion may be insignificant.

The first exit surface S11 may overlap each of the first light emitting devices 101 in the first direction Y. The second exit surface S12 may overlap each of the second light emitting devices 103 in the first direction Y. The outer end of the second light emitting device 103, that is, both ends in the second direction X may overlap the first exit surface S11 in the first direction Y. That is, the maximum length W1 of the first exit surface S11 in the second direction X may be greater than the maximum length of the first light emitting device 101. The maximum length W2 of the second exit surface S12 in the second direction X may be equal to or greater than the maximum length of the second light emitting device 103. The length W2 may be 6 mm or less, for example, in the range of 1 mm to 6 mm. That is, since the maximum length W2 in the second direction X of the second exit surface S12 is provided to be relatively smaller than the maximum length W1 in the second direction X of the first exit surface S11, the luminous intensity of the light emitted through the second exit surface S12 may be improved without affecting the luminous intensity of the first exit surface S11.

As shown in FIG. 7 , the maximum distance D2 between the first light emitting device 101 and the first surface S1 and the distance D4 between the second light emitting device 103 and the second surface S2 may be different from each other. The distance D4 between the second light emitting device 103 and the second surface S2 may be 2 mm or more, for example, may be in the range of 2 mm to 20 mm. When the distance D4 between the second light emitting device 103 and the second surface S2 is smaller than the above range, the region where moisture may penetrate or form a circuit pattern may be reduced, when it is larger the above range, the size of the device 200 may be increased. The maximum distance D2 is the maximum distance between the first light emitting device 101 and the first exit surface S11, and may be 5 mm or more, for example, in a range of 5 mm to 20 mm or 8 mm to 20 mm. When the maximum distance D2 is smaller than the above range, a hot spot may be generated, and when it is larger than the above range, the module size may be increased.

The maximum distance D2 may be a maximum distance between the first light emitting device 101 and the first exit surface S11 or a linear distance between the apex of the first convex portion P1. The linear distance D5 between the second light emitting device 103 and the second exit surface S13 may be 5 mm or more, for example, in the range of 5 mm to 20 mm or in the range of 8 mm to 20 mm. When the linear distance D5 is smaller than the above range, a hot spot may be generated. The maximum distance D2 may be equal to or greater than the distance D5. The distance D3 between the straight line connecting the at least two first light emitting devices 101 and the straight line connecting the at least two second light emitting devices 103 may be provided with a size in which a circuit pattern can be formed, and may be provided in a range of 0.5 mm or more, for example, in a range of 0.5 mm to 4 mm. The distance D1 between the straight line connecting the second exit surfaces S13 and the first light emitting device 101 may be 5 mm or more, for example, in a range of 5 mm to 12 mm, and when the distance D1 is smaller than the above range, a depth H1 of the recess portion C1 may be increased or the maximum distance D2 between the first light emitting device 101 and the first convex portion P1 may be narrowed. Thus, a dark portion may be generated in the recess portion C1. The distance D1 may vary depending on the angle of beam spread of the first light emitting device 101. That is, when the distance between the straight line connecting both ends of the first convex portion P1 and the first light emitting device 101 is too close, the light may be condensed to the center region of the first exit surface S11, when it is too far away, light may be irradiated to the second exit surface S12, so that the luminous intensity through the first exit surface S11 may be reduced.

Here, when the first convex portion P1 has a lens shape, a relationship of (n−1)×(1−R)=1/f is satisfied, R=(n−1)f, and R may be proportional to f (D2 or D5). The R may be a radius of curvature Rf of the first convex portion P1, the f may be a focal length, and the n may be a refractive index. The refractive index is a refractive index of a material of the resin layer, and may be 1.6 or less, for example, in a range of 1.4 to 1.6. Here, the angle of beam spread is an angle of beam spread of the first light emitting device 101, and may be in the range of 115 degrees or more, for example, in a range of 115 degrees to 135 degrees. The radius of curvature Rr of the first convex portion P1 may be formed in consideration of the distribution of the angle of beam spread of the first light emitting device 101. Here, when the interval between the first convex portions P1 is the same, the interval between the first light emitting devices 101 may be the same. Here, a portion of the first light emitting device 101 may be disposed in the first virtual circle Q4 passing through the first convex portion P1. The first virtual circle Q4 may have a diameter equal to or greater than the maximum length W1 of the first convex portion P1 or the first exit surface S11. The virtual first circle Q4 may pass through at least two of the points Pa, Pb, and Pc of the first convex portion P1 or the first exit surface S11 based on the center Pr of the circle, and may be a circle having a radius Rr. The first emission portion 111 of the first light emitting device 101 may be disposed within a region of the first virtual circle Q4. The diameter of the first virtual circle Q4 may be greater than the maximum length D2. The diameter of the first virtual circle Q4 forming the first convex portion P1 may be equal to or greater than the maximum length W1 of the first exit surface S11 in the second direction X or the first convex portion P1.

Referring to FIG. 8 , an angle Q1 formed by both points Pa and Pb of the first exit surface S11 with respect to the center of the first emission portion 111 of the first light emitting device 101 may be 115 degrees or more, for example, in the range of 115 to 135 degrees, and may be provided in consideration of the angle of beam spread. The angle Q2 formed by both ends of the second exit surface S12 with respect to the center of the second emission portion 113 of the second light emitting device 103 may be 30 degrees or less, for example, in the range of 2 degrees to 30 degrees. Accordingly, the light emitted through the second light emitting device 103 may be condensed through the second exit surface 103 and may be effectively emitted. As shown in FIG. 22 , a difference between the luminous intensity emitted to the first exit surface S11 and the luminous intensity emitted to the second exit surface S12 may be 30% or less, for example, in the range of 5% to 30%. The angle Q3 between the straight lines passing the center of the adjacent second light emitting devices 103 from the first light emitting device 101 as a starting point may be 90 degrees or more, for example, in a range of 90 degrees to 150 degrees. The first central axis Ya passing through the center of the first convex portion P1 or the center of the virtual circle Q4 and the center of the first light emitting device 101 may be parallel to or may converge toward an randomly focal point with respect to the second central axis Yb passing through the center of the second exit surface 113 and the center of the second light emitting device 103.

FIGS. 9 to 11 are modified examples of a lighting device according to an embodiment of the invention. The modified example may selectively include the configuration, description, or drawings of the embodiments disclosed above, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted.

In the description of the lighting device of FIGS. 9 to 11 , as shown in FIGS. 3 to 6 , the lighting device includes a substrate 210, a resin layer 220 and a second reflective layer 240, and first and second light emitting devices 101 and 103. In the lighting device, a first reflective layer 230 may be disposed between the substrate 210 and the resin layer 220. The detailed configuration of the substrate 210, the resin layer 220, the first and second reflective layers 230 and 240, and the first and second light emitting devices 101 and 103 may be selectively included with reference to the description of the embodiments disclosed above.

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 , the first surface S1 of the resin layer 220 may include a first exit surface S11 and a second exit surface S13. The first exit surface S11 may include a first convex portion P1 protruding from the second exit surface S13 toward the first surface S1. The second exit surface S13 may protrude from both ends of the first exit surface S11 in the direction of the first surface. The first exit surface S11 may include a first convex portion P1. The second exit surface S13 may include a second convex portion P2. The first exit surface S1 may include a first convex surface, and the second exit surface S13 may include a second convex surface. The first exit surface S11, the first convex portion P1, or the first convex surface may be disposed at a position facing to the first light emitting device 101. The second exit surface S13, the second convex portion P2, or the second convex surface may be disposed at a position facing to the second light emitting device 103. Each of the plurality of first light emitting devices 101 may overlap the first exit surface S11, the first convex portion P1, or the first convex surface in the first direction Y. Each of the plurality of second light emitting devices 103 may overlap the second exit surface S13, the second convex portion P2, or the second convex surface in the first direction Y. The first convex portion P1 may have a first curvature, and the second convex portion P2 may have a second curvature, and the size of the second curvature may be different from the size of the first curvature, for example, and may be larger than the size of the first curvature. That is, the second radius of curvature of a circle having the second curvature may be smaller than the first radius of curvature of a circle having the first curvature. That is, the value of the curvature is the reciprocal of the radius of the curvature.

The maximum length Y1 from the second surface S2 of the resin layer 220 to the first convex portion P1 or the first exit surface S11 may be greater than the minimum length Y2 from the second surface S2 to the second convex portion P2 or the second exit surface S13. The maximum distance D5 from the second convex portion P2 or the second exit surface S13 to the second light emitting device 103 may be the same as the maximum distance D2 from the first convex portion P1 or the first exit surface S11 to the first light emitting device 101, or may have a difference of ±5% based on the distance D2. The maximum distance D5 may vary according to the second curvature of the second convex portion P2.

The apex of the second convex portion P2 may be formed to have a depth H2 smaller than the height H1 of the first convex portion P1 from the apex of the first convex portion P1. For example, the depth H2 may be 0.5 or less of the height H1. The first convex portion P1 or the first convex surface may include a hemispherical shape, a semi-circle or semi-elliptical shape, an aspherical shape, or a shape having a curved surface. The second convex portion P2 or the second convex surface may include a hemispherical shape, a semi-circular or semi-elliptical shape, an aspherical shape, or a shape having a curved surface. Here, when the first and second convex portions P1 and P2 have a lens shape, the focal length f may be obtained as follows. To explain at the focal length f, it has a relationship of 1/f=(n−1)×(1/R1−1/R2), the R1 is a radius of curvature of the first convex portion P1, and the R2 is a radius of curvature of the second convex portion P2, and the n may be the refractive index of a material of the resin layer. The radius of curvature of the first and second convex portions P1 and P2 is proportional to f (D2 or D5), and may be considered with the half-maximum angle of each light emitting. The D2 is the maximum distance between the first convex portion and the first light emitting device, and the D5 is the maximum distance between the second convex portion and the second light emitting device. Here, the radius of curvature of the second convex portion P2 may be smaller than the radius of curvature of the first convex portion P1.

The area of the upper surface or the lower surface of the first convex portion P1 may be at least twice the area of the upper surface or the lower surface of the second convex portion P2, for example, in the range of 2 times to 10 times. The maximum length W1 of the first convex portion P1 in the second direction X may be greater than the maximum length W2 of the second convex portion P2, for example, the length W2 may be 0.5 times or less, or in the range of 0.5 times to 0.1 times the length W1. The maximum length W2 of the second exit surface S13 in the second direction X may be equal to or greater than the maximum length of the second light emitting device 103. The length W2 may be 6 mm or less, for example, in the range of 1 mm to 6 mm. That is, since the maximum length W2 in the second direction X of the second exit surface S13 is provided to be relatively smaller than the maximum length W1 in the second direction X of the first exit surface S11, the luminous intensity of the light emitted through the second exit surface S13 may be improved without affecting the luminous intensity of the first exit surface S11.

A first radius of curvature of the first exit surface S11 or the first convex surface may be different from a second radius of curvature of the second exit surface S13 or the second convex surface. The second radius of curvature may be greater than the first radius of curvature, for example, 0.5 times or less, or in a range of 0.5 times to 0.1 times the first radius of curvature. The first curvature of the first convex surface and the second curvature of the second convex surface may be different from each other, and the second curvature may be greater than or equal to twice the first curvature. Each of the second convex surface or the second convex portion P2 may be disposed between the first convex surface or the first convex portion P1, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 11 , a virtual first circle Q4 passing through the first and second points Pa, Pb and/or the third point Pc of the first convex portion P1, the first convex surface or the first emission surface S11 may overlap the first light emitting device 101. The first and second points Pa and Pb may be disposed at positions symmetrical to each other with respect to the third point Pc or may be spaced apart from each other by the same distance. A virtual second circle Q5 passing through at least two of the fourth, fourth, and fifth points Pd and Pe and the sixth point Pf of the second convex portion P2, the second convex surface or the second exit surface S13 may be spaced apart from the second light emitting device 103 without overlapping. The fourth and fifth points Pd and Pe may be disposed at positions symmetrical to each other with respect to the sixth point Pf or may be spaced apart from each other by the same distance. The fourth and fifth points Pd and Pe may be a boundary point between the second convex part P2 and the first convex part P1, or may be both ends of the second direction X of the second emitting surface S13. The sixth point Pf may be a center point or an apex of the second convex portion P2. Here, a portion of the first light emitting device 101 may be disposed in the first virtual circle Q4 passing through the first convex portion P1. The first virtual circle Q4 may have a diameter equal to or greater than the maximum length W1 of the first convex portion P1 or the first emission surface S11. The first virtual circle Q4 may pass through at least two of the points Pa, Pb, and Pc of the first convex portion P1 or the first emission surface S11 with respect to the center and may be a circle having radius Rr. The first emission portion 111 of the first light emitting device 101 may be disposed in the region of the first virtual circle Q4. A diameter of the first virtual circle Q4 may be greater than the maximum length D2. The diameter of the first imaginary circle Q4 constituting the first convex portion P1 may be equal to or greater than the maximum length W1 in the second direction X of the first convex portion P1 or the first exit surface S11.

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 23 , the luminance distribution of the light emitted through the convex second exit surface S13 from the resin layer 220 in the lighting device may be irradiated with 80% or more, for example, 85% or more based on the luminance distribution of the light emitted through the convex first exit surface S11. Accordingly, the difference between the luminance distribution of the light emitted to the first exit surface S11 and the luminance distribution of the light emitted through the second exit surface S13 may be 20% or less or 15% or less, so that the dark portion on the external image may be not recognized. The uniformity of the total light of such a lighting device may be improved to 90% or more.

In the above embodiment, the second light emitting device 103 or the second row in which they are arranged may be disposed to be more spaced apart from the second light exit surface S12 and S13 than the first light emitting device 101. As another example, referring to FIG. 12 , the second light emitting device 104 may be disposed closer to the second exit surface S12 than the first light emitting device 101. That is, since the area of the second exit surface S12 is smaller than that of the first exit surface S11, by disposing the second light emitting device 104 closer to the second exit surface S12, the luminance distribution emitted through the second exit surface S12 may be further improved. The distance D6 between the second light exit surface S12 and the second light emitting device 104 may be 3 mm or more and may be smaller than the minimum distance between the first light emitting device 101 and the second light exit surface S12.

Referring to FIG. 13 , the second light emitting device 104 may be disposed closer to the second exit surface S13 than the first light emitting device 101. That is, since the area of the second exit surface S13 is smaller than that of the first exit surface S11, by disposing the second light emitting device 104 closer to the second exit surface S13, the luminance distribution emitted through the second exit surface S13 may be further improved. The distance D7 between the second light exit surface S13 and the second light emitting device 104 may be 3 mm or more and may be smaller than the minimum distance between the first light emitting device 101 and the second light exit surface S13.

As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 , since the position of the second light emitting device 104 facing the second exit surfaces S12 and S13 are disposed closer than the distance D1 between the first emission surface S11 and the first light emitting device 101 in consideration of the area of the second exit surfaces S12 and S13, the luminance distribution of the light emitted through the second exit surfaces S12 and S13 may be increased.

Referring to FIG. 14 , at least one or two or more of the first light emitting devices 101, 101A and 101B in the first row in the lighting device may be tilted or disposed to be inclined as the distance from the fifth surface S5 increases.

The straight line Xa connecting the apexes of the first convex portions P1 a and P1 b facing to the tilted first light emitting devices 101A and 101B is not tilted, or may have a tilted or inclined angle Q7 toward the second surface rather than a straight line X0 extending in the second direction X based on the apex of the first convex portion P1 facing to the first light emitting device 101 adjacent to the fifth surface S5. The second light emitting devices 103A and 103B disposed between the tilted first light emitting devices 101A and 101B or in a direction away from the fifth surface S5 may be disposed to be tilted. The tilted first light emitting devices 101A and 101B and the second light emitting devices 103A and 103B may be tilted at the same angle or at different angles. Such a lighting device arranges at least one or two or more tilted light emitting devices in the first row and/or second row in the resin layer, so that the light emitting devices are arranged in a direction in which the distribution of the angle of beam spread may be converged.
